Elgin Museum sits in the heart of Elgin, in Moray on the Scottish Highlands, and currently offers a new pop-up display called Elgin Museum in Miniature in its Side Hall, open free of charge Fridays to Mondays, 1pm to 4pm. It brings together highlights from the museum's popular collections in a fresh format, though access to the main galleries isn't currently possible due to building issues. You can also explore from home via online activities, quizzes, a blog and social media. It suits those with a general interest in local collections and history. Elgin station is just 0.4 miles away, and with 19 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it's easy to combine with an overnight stop nearby.
